Ready to cook? Here are a few tips and tricks to make the best pancakes yet!
Can I Substitute All-Purpose Flour For The Almond Flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour instead of almond flour. You would use a 1:1 substitution, but please note that the quantity may vary. Also, almond flour typically requires more egg (binding agent), and you might have to reduce the quantity if you are use all-purpose flour. Please note that changing the flour choice could also change the carbohydrate amount of the recipe as well as making them no longer gluten-free.
Almond Flour vs Almond Meal
Both almond flour and almond meal are made from ground almonds. Almond flour is typically made from blanched almonds which have had the skins removed, whereas almond meal typically still contains the skin. Almond flour is also ground more finely than almond meal.
Can You Freeze Banana Pancakes?
These pancakes freeze well. To freeze, lay them out on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper. Spread out your pancakes evenly so they are not touching while freezing. Once frozen you can store them stacked in a bag or divided up into individual servings in smaller baggies or containers. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
Mix-In Options

How to Make Almond Flour Banana Pancakes
- First, you place the bananas, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and honey in a large mixing bowl and mix with a hand held blender or stand mixer.
- Add in the almond flour and mix until well combined. Set your bowl to the side.
- Preheat a griddle or large pan and add a tablespoon of oil. We set our griddle to 300 degrees. Always start out at a low temperature when making banana pancakes.
- Next, use a small measuring cup and scoop out a small amount of the batter onto the griddle.
- Cook for a few minutes until pancakes are cooked well enough on the bottom to easily flip. These pancakes do not tend to ‘bubble up' like traditional pancakes so watching them closely is key to keep them from burning.
- Flip the pancake and cook on the other side until they are cooked through.
- Then just keep making pancakes until all of the batter is gone.
